Re: Gay marriage a threat to humanity's future: Pope

Well, the current pope did at least finally concede that maybe it was ok for people in AIDS riddled Africa to use condoms... As bizarre as it sounds to applaud acknowledging something so obvious, that is actually a big step forwards for the office of the pope. I'm not really expecting him to suddenly bring the church up to date overnight. It's an institution that has been famous for holding on to absurdly outdated ideas sometimes for centuries. As long as he is moving it in the right direction he gets a golfclap from me.

Why don't we just ignore him altogether and not have to wait on him to catch up?

It's gay sex when one homosexual male penetrates another homosexual male. It's straight sex when a male and a female get it on. There are distinguishing factors. It's how we conservatives shed light on your clouded logic.
